Abstract:


    This sketch presents a novel method for synthesizing functions on surfaces from examples, including various types of textures and displacement maps. Our method synthesizes the function directly on the surface, avoiding many problems of traditional texture mapping. The synthesized results have the same qualitative visual appearance as a texture example provided by the user, without simply tiling the example, and without producing seams or distortion. The method is independent of the surface representation and works on meshes as well as smooth surfaces.
